Reaction dynamics and nuclear structure of moderately neutron-rich Ne isotopes by heavy ion reactions

The heavy ion reaction22Ne+208Pb at 128 MeV of bombarding energy has been studied using the PRISMA-CLARA experimental setup at Legnaro National Laboratories. Elastic, inelastic and one nucleon transfer cross sections have been measured. The experimental results are presented in parallel with the analysis on existing data for the unstable24Ne nucleus, from the reaction24Ne+208Pb at 182 MeV (measured at SPIRAL with the VAMOS-EXOGAM setup). The β2Ccharge deformation parameter for both22Ne and24Ne has been determined by a DWBA analysis of the experimental angular dis- tributions, showing a strong reduction for24Ne.
